Simmons ProHunter 4-12x40 Rifle Scope - SPH41240

The Simmons ProHunter 4-12x40 rifle scope delivers dependable magnification and clarity for hunters working across varied terrain and light conditions. Built on a one-inch aluminum tube with fully coated optics, this mid-range variable scope handles the jump from close cover to open country without demanding premium dollars or premium complexity. If you're hunting deer, elk, or hogs and want a scope that won't quit when the weather turns, the ProHunter line has earned trust among working hunters for decades—and this 4-12x configuration splits the difference between field of view and magnification versatility.

Waterproof and fogproof construction (IPX7 rated) keeps internal optics dry and clear whether you're glassing from a rain-soaked blind or pushing through fog-laden timber at dawn. The all-glass optical system with fully coated lenses cuts through low-light situations, giving you usable sight pictures during prime hunting hours. Simmons engineered the turrets with capped, finger-adjustable design and textured knurling on the magnification ring—features that matter when you're wearing heavy gloves or need to adjust in lousy weather without fumbling.

The Truplex reticle is straightforward and reliable: no complex subtension lines or ballistic hold-overs to decipher in the moment. Fixed 100-yard parallax keeps the scope ready for hunting ranges without asking you to dial parallax before each shot. You get everything needed to mount and shoot: a pair of bikini lens covers for protection and one-inch Weaver-style aluminum rings (four-hole pattern) that fit standard modern rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles will the ProHunter 4-12x40 fit?

The scope comes with one-inch Weaver-style rings, which fit any modern rifle with Weaver-spec picatinny rail or Weaver-grooved receiver. Make sure your rifle's rail or grooves are standard one-inch Weaver pattern before purchase.

Is this scope suitable for hunting in low light?

Yes. The fully coated all-glass optical system is designed to deliver crisp images in low-light conditions, making it effective during dawn and dusk—prime hunting hours. The 40mm objective and 4x minimum magnification support light gathering for dim conditions.

What's included in the box?

The scope ships with bikini lens covers for objective and ocular protection, and one-inch Weaver-style aluminum mounting rings (four-hole pattern) ready to attach to your rifle.

Can I adjust the parallax for closer or longer ranges?

The ProHunter 4-12x40 features a fixed 100-yard parallax setting, which is calibrated for the typical hunting distance. It is not user-adjustable, so it's optimized for that zero range.
